“So, that was Antarctica,” shivered Clara, running into the TARDIS. “Where next?” “Someplace awesome,” smiled the Doctor, closing the doors.

“Have we been to the lake on Lepidus IV yet?” asked River. “Sorry,” said the Doctor. “Good,” she winked. “You’ve got it to look forward to.”

“Ta-da!” declared the Doctor, strutting about in his new red Paddington Bear hat. “No,” replied Amy. Rory shook his head. The Doctor pouted.

Crisp breadcrumbs and perfectly tender fish were a lovely idea, but lacking something. The cool, silky sweetness of custard made it perfect.

The Master had waited so long for the Doctor, the two of them, back together. But now was but a hollow gesture of love, too little too late.

Wilf waved, astonished, as he watched his brave Donna and her spaceman friend fly off into the unknown. He had never been more proud of her.

“Ugh!” the Doctor cringed, wiping his tongue on his shirt. Martha neglected to mention that time John Smith had tried the poached pear tart.

“I’m the tin dog,” sighed Mickey. Except the other tin dog also shot lasers from his little nose and had a supercomputer for a brain. Great.

Jack grinned that characteristically flirtatious grin, leaning in for a small kiss. The Doctor said nothing, but smiled inwardly. Fantastic.

“You know something, Doctor?” said Rose, as they watched the people of London go by, “I reckon these might be the best chips I’ve ever had.”

Rose had been gone for a year with no word, because she was in space, thought Jackie. It still would not have killed her to send a postcard.

Time Lords were a bunch of old fusspots, a constant thorn in his side. Gallifrey was intolerably dull. This did not make him miss them less.

The Doctor settled into his comfy chair, a bag of jelly babies at his side. Only after his first did he realize they were 500 years expired.

“You come with me,” replied Grace. She half-expected him to repeat “no, you come with me,” but perhaps this was not the custom on Gallifrey.

While the Doctor was not surprised at the Master’s reappearance, he was nonplussed at his new dress sense, which had gone a bit pear-shaped.

Suddenly everything fell into place. The fog of confusion had begun to dissipate, and it had been so long since a pair of shoes fit so well.

Ace wished she could spend more time getting to know the nice women she met wherever they went, but somewhere else the tea was getting cold.

[140 Characters of DW @DW_140]

“Ace, what have I told you about explosives?” asked the Doctor. “Always keep a can of nitro-9 in my rucksack?” ventured Ace. “Prrrrecisely.”

“I shall miss Mel,” the Doctor said to his new companion as the TARDIS sped into space. “Hang about, did she seriously leave us for GLITZ?!”

Each regeneration brought a unique sense of confusion; the moment the Doctor picked up those spoons, however he had never felt more himself.
